My
name is Corgi! I am also a Corgi. I call my master "human."
I was born in Alachua County, Florida and have always lived here. Nevertheless,
my fame has spread throughout the globe. People from Malaysia, Canada,
Netherlands, Bolivia, to right here in Gainesville have heard of me. Even
various moviestars have heard of me and have wanted to meet me! They've
even written me emails!

By the way, that picture
of me on the right is me, when I played Santa Clause. I was cool!!!

I'm also a member of the
dog park in Gainesville. You
can see me at this site with Bobbie, who is also a member of the dog park.
He lived with us for about 4 weeks. My master and I rescued him from the
pound, which by the way is a miserable place to be at if you're a dog.

I've
had several owners already, but now I'm with Kees, from Holland and this
is my final owner. You can read all about him right here.
You can also read my master's stories here.
My first owner besides my mom were Richard and Cindy. Then I moved to
Carolyn Yoho's father's home for three months. He named me "Sam."
He was afraid, he would step on me though, so he gave me back to Ted and
Carolyn, where I grew up playing with their kids, especially Tyler and
also another Corgi, named Itchy, who came from a very rich family. Then
I was adopted by Kees and I live with him now. Kees called me Corgi, because
of his friend Matt's suggestion. See Kees thinks that the name Sam sounded
a bit like a man selling fruit on a Dutch Market. And when I went to Holland,
I can say, that I saw those guys and I'm nothing like them. I've got so
much more class!!! I'm a dog of Royal Descent!

I've also had a very strange
thing happen to me. See my master and I went for a walk through the Spring
Arts festival in Gainesville. As usual everyone stopped and had to pet
me, which I thoroughly enjoyed! Then a police officer walked up to my
master and informed him that I was not allowed at the spring arts festival,
unless I was a seeing-eye dog. This I must say appalled me. First of all,
my breed of dogs roams all over Buckingham palace and then this police
officer had the audacity to not allow me at this redneck based arts festival.
And then the part of the seeing-eye dog, that was the biggest bunch of
baloney I had ever heard, because why would a blind person go to a festival
full of paintings. He can't see them. It must be human logic, but I don't
get it.

I've also been on television
with my master several times. I was featured with my master' James Bond
Collection. You can view it right here. The
picture of me with the Aston Martin is when I played agent 007. Notice
the licence-plate (that's how we spell it in the Queen's English). It
is BMT216A, the same number as Bond in Goldfinger. Check it out in the
film, if you don't believe me.

Let
me see what else. Oh, yes, my favourite television character is Angelica
of Rugrats and All Grown Up! She is so funny. I love watching that show.
She has class, and the actress, who does her voice, Cheryl Chase has also
heard of me! Talking about celebrities. A lot of them know all about me.
It
all started when my master was talking with Ashlie
Brillault of Disney's Lizzie McGuire. Well, I felt I had to be in
on the action too! So, I started barking! Then later, Tracy
Shreve of the DOC show sent me an email saying that I was all cute.
She loved me on this website. Andrea
Robinson of the same show also knows me and she thinks that I'm adorable
and lovely. I like her too! Chelsea
Wilson of Disney's Lizzie McGuire also thinks I'm adorable! Let's
see, who else knows me... Oh,
yes, Catherine Hicks
of Seventh Heaven loved me and sent me a big hug via my master. She says
people with Corgis are lucky! Smart actress!!! Oh, and Ivana
Bozilovic of the Charlie's Angels film just loves me and thinks that
I have such a cute bark. You can hear her say this by clicking here.
I also really like Hunter
Gomez. He played in the film National Treasure and he invited me to
his home and sent me this picture. You can click on it and see it enlarged.
Let's see... Ashley
Leggat of Life with Derek has heard of me, but she has three cats,
which I would like to chase. Several of the Bond girls have heard about
me too, such as Lana Wood (She is the sister of Natalie Wood) and Trina
Parks of "Diamonds are Forever." Oh and Lauren
Mayhew of "Raise Your Voice" also thinks I'm cute, which
I am, by the way, much cuter than that Tickerbell dog of Paris! I don't
think he even has a website. (By the way, Paris has heard of me too! I
told you, I'm famous!)

Talking
about filmstars, guess, who came to visit me? Yes, Trina Parks visited
me a couple of days ago and she absolutely loved me, which was no suprise
to me, because I know Bond girls really like me. This is a picture of
me and her.

I really enjoyed that and
the next week, there was a whole article about me in the Newspaper. That
was a lot of fun. You can read it here: My
Article in the Newspaper.

Then there is another actress,
that I visited when she came to this area. Her name is Monet. She is really
kind and she loved me and so then I had my picture taken with her. As
a matter of fact, Kees and Monet sponsor several children through Compassion,
which is really neat, because, they write me letters and they really love
me. So, I have children all over the world, who love me and who write
me. If you'd like to find out more about Compassion, you want to click
on this link below. My daddy can tell you more about it, if you have questions,
because I don't totally understand it, but I do think you should sponsor
some children. Just click on this link: The
Compassion Website. Oh, and my daddy also interviewed the President
of Compassion and I sniffed on his pants. He's been in many places. I
could smell that, and he really loves children. You can read more about
him in my daddy's story right here.

But life as a Corgi isn't
all peaches... Something happened to me, which saddened me a bit. I got
cancer in one of my legs, so Dr. Marie Schretzmann had to amputate one
of my legs. When I woke up, I started crying, my master was with me and
comforted me and started crying too. Oh, and Ivana send me a nice email
and she said that she sent me good vibes and I started feeling better
and Hunter also wrote me and told me that he hopes I would feel better.
You can see that here. Two weeks later,
I went to Holland and visited my master's parents. I call them grandpa
and grandma. They are so nice. They love me so much and they have pictures
of me all over their house! I feel a lot better now though and my leg
is healing up well.

Just
recently, I was cast in the Corgicomics.com
as an underwater King of the Corgi mermaids. That was fun. These are some
of the pictures of me in the Comic Book, just click here.
I liked it, because I also did a charity event with Hunter Gomez in Land
O'Lakes and then Hunter put me on his
website under photos and then look under the charity photos and the
Compassion
event. You can see the flyer for it right here.

My
master just recently went to Bolivia to visit the children, he sponsored
with Compassion.
Each of the children was so kind and they all asked about me, so my master
showed them videos of me. This is Shedenka on the left. When she writes
a letter, she makes drawings of me and she also asks my master to scratch
me on top of my head, which I thoroughly enjoy. Right below Shedenka is
Yovana's cell phone. She also lives in Bolivia and notice, who she has
on the picture on her phone. Yes, that's yours truly. I put Yovana in
a little picture in the corner, so you can see how nice she is. Yovana
loves me very much. Then on the right, that is Jessica. She is a Compassion
child in Columbia and this is a picture of her with my website. I think
it would
be a good idea for you to sponsor children too. You can do that by clicking
here.
If you want to see more pictures of my master's visit to Bolivia, you
can click right here.

My master actually
took me to Holland for Christmas a couple of times. I have to fly in an
airplane to go there. I sit in a little cage during the flight though,
which I really don't enjoy. When I was in Holland, I also had my picture
taken in the snow. You can see that to the right of here. Also, you can
see me next to a Dutch farm above here. That was fun. I have boasted about
that to all the dogs in the dog park. They are trying to keep up with
the Corgis!

Anyways, it was
such a pleasure to meet you! I hope to talk with you again. (By the way
that has been me barking the whole time!)
